About General Dynamics

Submarines

With more than a century of experience, Electric Boat has established standards of excellence in the design, construction and lifecycle support of submarines for the U.S. Navy. Primary operations are the shipyard in Groton, CT, and the automated hull-fabrication and outfitting facility in Quonset Point, RI, with a current workforce of 10,500 employees.

Programs

Electric Boat delivered the lead ship of the Virginia class, USS Virginia (SSN774), and the final ship of the Seawolf class, USS Jimmy Carter (SSN23), to the U.S. Navy in 2004. It is now currently engaged in the construction of the follow-on Virginia-class submarines with its teammate, Northrop Grumman Newport News. The company also continues to provide life-cycle support for ships of the Seawolf, Ohio and Los Angeles classes.

Quonset Point

Construction of Electric Boat submarines begins at the Quonset Point, R.I., Facility, located on the shore of Naragansett Bay 50 miles east of Groton, Conn. Established in November 1973 at the soon-to-be-closed Quonset Point Naval Air Station, the Quonset Point Facility produces submarine hull cylinders up to 42 feet in diameter at its Automated Frame and Cylinder Manufacturing Facility. The hull sections are produced using a fraction of the manpower once required to form a traditional hull.

Groton

The Groton, Conn., shipyard, which EB acquired in 1911 when it purchased the New London Ship and Engine Co., has two major functions: first, submarine design and engineering; and second, submarine assembly, test and delivery. All Electric Boat design and engineering work takes place in Groton, supported by a network of modern digital design and analysis tools.
